Alabama 34, Auburn 10. Auburn's not going to quit, but that will be the Tigers' only victory in this game. They can't beat Alabama straight-up, and they don't have the big-play ability that would give them a puncher's chance and an emotional spark. The Tide will rush for more than 200 yards and the Tigers won't reach 100.

Alabama 38, Auburn 3. Auburn's last nine SEC games have resulted in nine losses by an average of 23.1 points. Now comes the nation's No. 2 team with a renewed outlook on repeating as national champions. Auburn's offense last scored a point against Alabama on a pass from Cam Newton. Watching to see if that streak is continued might be the only drama in this Iron Bowl.

Alabama 38, Auburn 7. Auburn will come into the game with more energy and intensity but Alabama's superior talent and coaching will quickly erase whatever emotional edge the Tigers might have.

Alabama 35, Auburn 7

This is one of the biggest mismatches in the history of the series - a national championship-caliber team against one that has already packed its bags for the offseason. Even if all the planets aligned, Nick Saban got stuck in traffic and couldn't make it to the game, AJ McCarron threw five interceptions, both Eddie Lacy and T.J. Yeldon got hurt and Onterio McCalebb returned two kicks for touchdowns, Alabama would still win by double digits.

Kevin Scarbinsky

Alabama 38-3. It's only this close because Alabama likes to take the third quarter off.

Tommy Hicks

Alabama 37-10. Quite simply, Alabama has too much talent and too much at stake to lose this game.

Joel A. Erickson

Alabama 42, Auburn 6. After the way Auburn lost to Texas A&M and Georgia at home, it's hard to imagine the Tigers finding magic on the road against Alabama.

Charles Goldberg

Alabama 42-10. Alabama is ahead of the game at almost every position, so while Auburn may bring some energy with quarterback Jonathan Wallace, the fact is the Tigers are winless in the SEC.

Don Kausler Jr.

Alabama 38, Auburn 10: The team that blocks and tackles better will run again to a 24-0 lead in the first half, and because of its meltdown two years ago and because it has everything to play for, Alabama won't let up until the fourth quarter.

Andrew Gribble

Alabama 45, Auburn 7 - The Crimson Tide hasn't messed around in games it's supposed to dominate this season, often taking big first-quarter leads and eliminating any opportunity for drama. Just because it's the Iron Bowl doesn't mean it will be any different.
